little accumulation out here in fairfax county that the roadways that we've been seeing, the main roads have not been a big problem. still, we know, out in the subdivisions, a little bit different story. there's going to be re-freezing out there tonight. so folks are going to want to take it easy. but right now, at this hour, no more snow, just a little bit on the ground today. reporting live from centreville, julie carey, news 4. >> okay. we want to check on the road conditions out in maryland. some schools closed early to get school buses off the streets before the snow really started falling this afternoon. our prince george's county bureau chief shows us how the evening commute is going now. >> reporter: we have been watching the snow really coming down in prince george's county. what we're seeing right now is pretty much how it's been since around 2:00 p.m. now, take a look here at the beltway. when was the last time you saw traffic moving like that on the beltway at 6:00 p.m. it's happening here and now coming through landover. this is moving at a really great clip for a couple of reasons.

first of all, the roads were e pretreated. second of all, less folks on the highway because they did let school out two hours early and also federal workers had the opportunity to leave. so because of that, we're seeing less traveling on the roadways. but they are warning it is important you still drive cautiously, make sure you pay close attention to what's going on around you and get off the roads as soon as possible. as i said, it's been snowing pretty much like this since about 2:00 p.m. so we're looking at about an inch of snow here in parts of landover. news 4. >> a lot of school districts in our area made the decision ts morning that they would let out a few hours early and believing it's better to be safe than sorry. adam tuss joins us from silver spring with more as people look to metro for a safe ride home. hey, adam. >> reporter: how are you? and yeah, the flakes are still falling here in silver spring. but it's nothing like it was an

hour ago. this might be the biggest problem right here, the sidewalk. some snow right here on the sidewalk walking around. if you've got slick shoes, if you look here, this is the intersection of east/west highway. normally at this time of night, this would be jammed pack. we probably have the snow to think for a lighter than normal rush hour right now and any snow that's fallen here, the salt down the last couple of days, it's really doing the trick on the roads here, wet conditions, of course, we'll keep an eye on the thermometer as the temperature drops tonight. up there, you can see metro trains and people getting on metro, metro hasn't made any service changes because of this weather. right now, again, things tapering off here invil silver spring. starting to see things calm down a bit. and not a bad time to be out in your car right now. reporting live in silver spring. news 4. >> and as a matter of fact, shamari stone is out in a car right now to give you an idea what it looks like from a driver's perspective.

another pretty little half hour event. that's going to be about it. and it will be very pretty. this light, fluffy snow is beautiful to look at even when it's on the ground because it just glistens in any kind of light that reflects off of it. really, really nice snow, dry snow as our temperatures have been so cold. there goes the storm system. in behind it, we're going to see clearing skies through the overnight. so, snow, light snow, through about 8:00 through most of the region. again, light and powdery, up to an inch, some locations upwards of an inch to inch and a half, but most of us under an inch and that's what we've been talking about the last few days. slick friday night? yeah, especially those secondary roads. primary roads were treated. they're fine. it's the secondary roads, it's the sidewalks that you may have problems on. so, again, just slow it down a little bit, national weather service has yet to take down the winter weather advisory. it's through 9:00 tonight, but this should be canceled any time now as we continue to make our way through the night. here's one thing we are all going to have to deal with. the very cold temperatures. by 7:00, temperature of around

tuesday, 60 on wednesday with a good amount of rain. we need the rain, we still need to see some moisture. and cold as we head toward thursday and friday. i really think we're in for another cold end to the week and weekend next week. monday, starting off quite cold in the morning, we could see freezing rain or snow possible early on friday or on monday morning, about a 40% chance of that happening. and if that did happen, that would affect the morning rush. tom kierein will be here monday morning to give you the latest on that system. and that's a smaller system than the one that came through today. once again, it could affect our rush hour. as we move through the next couple of days, just to show you, if you wanted to get above freezing, every day in the next seven days will be at least 32 degrees or higher for high temperatures. and a 60 in there mixed in. >> yeah. nice. >> a good chance for the snow to melt pretty quickly. >> i think it'll be okay through tomorrow, but the sunshine will melt it very fast. powdery snow does melt much

faster. >> does it. i didn't know that. >> let's go into the scientific talk about that. >> i think of this as more like western high altitude snow. >> yeah. >> get out your skis. come on, let's cross country. >> ski resorts this weekend will be great to get up to. go up there. >> okay. thank you, doug. well, coming up next, a look at the roads in northern virginia, this is 267 and route 7 moving pretty well looks like. also looking at the national mall where thousands of people came down today for the annual march for life rally. coming up in sports, the wizards look for the light at the end of the tunnel. is it hope? or is it a train? and pathetic is how one capitals player sums up last night's loss. that's all when "news 4 at 6:00"

midweek, we're up to 60, that comes with some rain. and then by friday, we're right back in towards 32 degrees, again. so say hello, that roller coaster ride coming in very, very quickly. this also looks like one of those ski resorts, guys, if you're thinking about going. that's my side of the mountain right there. >> helping us make so many plans to go skiing this weekend. >> sunbathing on friday. >> and we have a dinner date tonight, don't we, ladies? is that tonight? >> friday. all right. you came running into the studio during the commercial break. >> what happens off the air stays off the air. >> you had news. >> well, we have news. redskins pr has yet to confirm it, but redskins left tackle trent williams will not play in the pro bowl this sunday. we're working on the why. a vikings press release announced that minnesota rookie tackle is replacing williams. williams had been looking forward to this nfl all-star game his first pro bowl experience. he's been practicing in hawaii all week. he played through thigh, knee, and angle injuries this week,

but he was amazing on the field earning that nod. more on this story, but we do know that williams joins robert griffin iii to be selected to pro bowl to be withdrawn. well, there's a promo shoot in baltimore recently. someone had this idea, they brought in the lombardi trophy, an authentic one and wanted the ravens to get around it for this video shoot. and ray lewis wouldn't let anybody -- >> that's not a good idea. >> compete in the commercial. he said no, no, no not until after the game. that's all he's thinking about right now. it's the "xs" and "os." >> do not do this commercial. >> but we agree with him. >> some people call him ray ray. >> i like to call him ray ray, makes him seem -- he'll be happy to oblige with all the pictures after the game. in the meantime, though, he's

only thinking about the xs and os. >> i haven't even said, oh, man this is your last game, what do you think? i really haven't. because i just really, you know, it's keeping my teammates focused on the real prize. i heard coach speak about it earlier, and the real prize is going to win the super bowl. it's great to get there. don't get me wrong, but to win it is something special. and you feel that confetti drop in, i'll reflect then. but this really hasn't crossed my mind like that. >> all right. so they leave for new orleans on monday. the washington capitals gave up four goals in the second period in the last night's game versus the half. four goals in one period. caps fall to 1-0 on the year. hoping to shake off that loss and hit the ice tonight in new jersey to face the devils. he knows that team well. he was an assistant for the devils the last two season. last night, verizon center, second period was a

demonstration of what not to do. a number of mental errors, guys out of positions and getting beat to the puck. all the stuff a coach does not want to see. to make matters worse, the team was being booed at times by their own fans. and a lot of talk on social media today. rocking the red might be dead. let's not write them off just yet. players beating themselves up enough already. >> i think it's embarrassing the way we've played. we really got to regroup and talk about this. and play the way we should tomorrow. the good thing is we're playing tomorrow again, we've got to be better. >> we're not out of shape. that's an excuse right now. guys are professionals here, they came into camp in shape ready to go and it's not, you know, fitness. it's work ethic. and we're getting worked. >> i'm not a believer in the speech, i'm not. we're pros, you've got to do your job, it's not always going

to go your way. and you've got to show up for work. >> all right. so the caps tonight in new jersey will be the only team in the league without a single point in the standings. the washington wizards are coming back after a wild adventure out west. the wizards hosting the t-wolves tonight at the verizon center. almost doubling their win totals since he returned. he had made them competitive playing up to 25 minutes a game. tonight for the first time this season, he's going to be in the starting lineup. fun fact, with him on the court, wizards are outscoring their opponents by 20 points per 10 possessions. without him on the floor -- wizards know what they have to do and confident in their return to d.c. >> you do the job the best way you can. that's all you try to do. and we've done that and these guys were doing that for the most part. so they've stuck to it. now we're starting to get healthy and starting to get

people back. and i think they see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. >> in the next step for us was just getting everybody healthy. and now that we're finally healthy, you know, really showing teams we're capable of doing. now it's just a matter of building that comradery and that chemistry and getting repetition with the guys back. once we get full circuit, we're going to be a tough team to play. >> oh, yeah. tough team. the maryland terrapins not fooled by duke's 27-point blowout loss to miami this week. he's only studying bits of that game film, focusing more on the footage of the blue devils at home. because duke is a whole different animal indoor. >> i think our guys will be excited because it's the number one team in the country. i know they lost last night, but still number one when we play them. we have a lot of new players that haven't been in the building. they'll be excited to play in that building. more importantly, we're coming off our last road game where we

weren't very good in the first half. i imagine our guys will be a lot more intuned and ready to go. obviously duke's going to be ready to go saturday after what happened last night. we have to be ready and match their intensity early. >> this is going to be loud, it's going to be a great atmosphere. you have to relish in the moment. that's what coach told us. regardless of what we play on the road, it's going to be tough. looking for an opportunity to play against coach and his team. >> roger federer was making a statement today, at least four of the five sets. the match went one set too long for the 31-year-old. andy murray took advantage. men's semifinals action. there's murray, the number three seed taking on the second seed roger federer. picking up in the second serve, on the serve falling back and forth. murray, a strong forehand, but rips the back hand in far back corner, he would take the second set and he's pumped. third set now murray battling back. check out this forehand down the line. >> again.

>> bam, federer has no answer for that. goes to a fifth set, going to a distance, federer on the serve and goes long, andy murray moves on to beat roger federer in five sets. it's the first time murray has ever beaten federer. and he's happy to go to the finals. he's been there a couple of times before, murray's never won it. >> okay. well, got to be happy for him. >> stay up for it 3:00 a.m. sunday morning. >> dvr. thanks, carol. up next, the hunt for a dolphin on the

[ male announcer ] now at your neighborhood subway: the big hot pastrami melt. we've perfected the pastrami sandwich -- filled with juicy pastrami, pickles, yellow mustard and melted cheese. all piled-high on freshly baked bread. taste one at your local subway today! subway. eat fresh.

one more check on doug's weather forecast. >> it was nice, but it is safe to go outside now. >> that's the thing, i still think tonight with these very cold temperatures, we're going to run into that lot of slick spots. right on through the night tonight and through tomorrow morning. the main roads were treated, and they have been fine for the most part. some really good news there. tomorrow still cold, but look at that. 33, we get above freezing for

the first time in four days, and we stay on that trend, 35 on sunday, monday, watching out for that could be some slick conditions early on monday, maybe some snow or freezing rain early monday morning. it's not big at all. once again, coming around rush hour, 60 on wednesday, a good chance for some rain, and then we cool off once again cold by next week. back down below the freezing mark, and we could stay there for a while. >> oh, my. all right. thank you, doug. did i say dolphin? well, i meant crocodile. if crocodiles scare you, south africa is not the place to visit right now. as many as 10,000 of them succe escaped from a farm. concerns of rising flood waters might crush the reptiles, now crocodiles have been sighted across the region. authorities are warning people not to approach them. i can't imagine that's a problem. that's something you probably don't have to repeat twice for most people. the farm workers are out trying to capture the crocodiles, and

now police have joined in that hunt. they're working at night because the light reflected in the crocodile's eyes makes it easier to see them. >> i wonder if they were escaping -- if they were going to be made into a purse or pair of shoes. maybe they were running for it. >> that's our
